I am not sure what you mean. eldoc should work fine in eval-expression
or more generally in the minibuffer for example I am using it with
erlang eval every day in the past month. If not we should fix it.

Some time ago you posted eldoc-eval and Stefan requested to merge it
with eldoc. None happened. So I picked it up and added this to eldoc.el.
The intention is to make eldoc-eval obsolete.
